Yurtseven Linked with Turkish Clubs - Buyout Clause in Contract

Despite coach Ergin Ataman's statements suggesting Omer Yurtseven will remain with Panathinaikos, reports in Turkey indicate a possible departure. Panathinaikos has the right to activate a release clause until February 28th. However, Fenerbahçe owns Yurtseven's rights and would need to approve any move to another Turkish team, which is considered unlikely. Galatasaray has expressed interest, but Yurtseven is expected to continue with Panathinaikos until the summer, when he will consider his options. Fenerbahçe retains the player's rights due to Yurtseven's refusal of a professional contract after his time in the club's academy.
